Bull Shark

The bull shark is found all over the world in coastal waters but you’re most likely to come across one in estuaries, harbors, and rivers. Aside from it being a good scavenger, it’s a good predator as well, so you don’t want to be swimming near any dead whale carcasses. What makes it even more dangerous is that you have a higher chance of encountering one in Australia. In fact, you might even catch a glimpse of one in Sydney Harbor or the Brisbane River. Some have even washed up on city streets after storms.

Tiger Shark

While the tiger shark is smaller than the great white shark, it is, however, more aggressive. The shark is named for its stripes running down its back. This animal will consume just about anything it comes across, including bottles, tires, clothes, and yes – even humans. This beast is normally found in deep, subtropical waters, but it will often swim near the Great Barrier Reef. To sum up, Australia has no shortage of angry sharks that will attack when provoked.
